Fri, 11 Jul 2014 07:21:12 +0000http://hillbillyatheist.wordpress.com/?p=43#comment-29Thank you for your reply. I really do think there is a need for the “hillbilly” demographic to have a webpage that’s safe for atheists. The Richard Dawkins site is very popular with the egghead set. Where can hillbilly atheists go? Good luck with all your endeavors.

Fri, 11 Jul 2014 06:45:29 +0000http://hillbillyatheist.wordpress.com/?p=43#comment-28I bet that was my site. I had a catholic mod named trentonzero. I had no idea he was doing that though. I had a christian guy on the mod team in an attempt to help make it a fair place for the clash of ideas. If he was unfair to atheists, that certainly didn’t fit my agenda. the site didn’t show (or I didn’t know how to see if it did) what other mods did. So I would have had no idea if he or any other mod had abused their power. the forum never really took off though and eventually I took it down as I was too busy to maintain it and it wasn’t getting enough activity to be worth the hassle.. now days I have have a blog I occasionally add things too, and when I have more time may get more active again. I’m certainly an atheist. I’m no catholic. not even an ex-catholic. I was raised pentecostal. I may even bring back a forum at some point if I have time. I’ll just have to be more picky about mods, and make sure folks know they can take their complaints to me if they feel a mod is being unfair.

Fri, 11 Jul 2014 02:08:12 +0000http://hillbillyatheist.wordpress.com/?p=43#comment-27Dear Hillbilly Atheist, I thought I would post this here although you might not see it. Many years ago I was thrilled to hear that an Oklahoman “hillbilly” was proudly proclaiming his atheism on a webpage. I immediately signed up and started reading and making posts in the forums. It wasn’t long before I locked horns with a Catholic apologist who seemed to be some kind of special protected poster. I say this because every time we got into it, the monitor would intervene and invariably take the Catholic’s side, claiming I was trying to “flame” the Catholic. The last straw was when I saw the Catholic trying to talk a young student out of debating some Christian at his school on the existence of God. I immediately complained to the monitor that the Catholic was “ambushing” young atheists who were coming to the site for good debating points, and who were probably shocked to find some Catholic trying to mislead them. Again, the monitor took the Catholic’s side and said if I didn’t stop my harassment, I would get kicked off the site. At that point, I decided the Hillbilly Atheist was not a legitimate atheist website but a Trojan horse for Catholic propaganda. I cancelled my membership. The experience still bothers me to this day. Are you a real atheist? I gather your webpage closed. If you are a real atheist, were you perhaps a little too “hands off” in your management of the site? Did you lose interest in the website? If you are considering restarting the webpage, I hope you will be a little more involved next time.

How does it feel to be wrong again? Just like I told you, you would be. We will make it to 2014 just fine as your latest conspiracy is just as wrong as the dozens you made before it. you need to stop reading your conspiracy websites and get some real news. must be tiresome to be wrong over and over again. what’s your latest prediction? we’re doomed by march? june? LOL

Sat, 23 Mar 2013 04:30:16 +0000http://hillbillyatheist.wordpress.com/?p=43#comment-23Yes, the “progessivism” started with Woodrow Wilson and has continued to bring us to the precipice at which we stand today, to a debt so high there is no way out except a complete meltdown of our currency, and our standard of living. Earl Scruggs lived a long time ago when a Democrat was vastly different from the Liberal/Progressive/Socialists of today. Obama is not a Democrat, something far more sinister. Yes there are a lot of you out there, and you all will regret the day you voted Obama back into office on Nov. 6th, 2012. This was the gaurantee that our fiscal problems will not and cannot ever be ameliorated. The Teabaggers as you call them believe in the constitution and the sanctity of life. Harry Reid and Pelosi and the likes of the traitor John will help Obama, but it is a long time until the mid-term elections of 2014. It is my hope that our once great country can survive that long. Thoughts of an educated independant, thinking out loud, yes the written word is nothing more than a silent audible. FF

If you feel like like me now ” letting the steam out” e.g.by telling your opinion about
Romney ( and the fraud of Mormonism) I found a good discussion last week after an article in the daily Beast. I try to keep up the debate but I am not so good in commenting.
I will try to paste a link to this vide-reaching forum debate. And I feel I need your help to
put in some more steam and fire. Thanks. We need you. Go on writing. I hope it opens:

I’ve never been good with names though. if I know you from a forum, it’d be easier to place you if you mentioned, the forum, and stuff we talked about and what your avitar looked like.
